Canadian Politician Blames Tight Underpants For Missing Vote
OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — A Canadian politician has blamed cheap, tight underwear for his sudden departure from Parliament causing him to miss a vote on anti-terror legislation.
Opposition lawmaker Pat Martin told Parliament Thursday he had bought a bunch of men's underwear for half price which were clearly too small for him, making it difficult to sit for any length of time.
He apologized for missing the vote amid laughter in the chamber and asked for his vote to be counted.
